Hello! My name is Lonita Benjamin, and I am proud to call Manawarin in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana my home. As a farmer, I embrace the rich agricultural heritage of our land, cultivating crops that not only nourish my family but also connect us to our vibrant heritage. Whether it's tending to my rice fields or sharing the bounty of fresh fruits with neighbors, I believe in the power of community and the importance of keeping our traditions alive.
Living in Guyana is a unique experience, where the beauty of our rivers, like the Essequibo and Upper Pomeroon, mirrors the warmth of our people. I often reminisce about the vibrant sounds of local music and the lively festivities that bring us together. And let's not forget the flavors! From the spicy pepperpot during Christmas to the sweet treat of coconut sugar cakes, our culinary delights tell the story of our diverse cultures, reflecting our Indian, African, Amerindian, and European influences.
As part of the Guyanese diaspora, I cherish the connections we maintain with family and friends abroad. Whether it's sharing a laugh about our unique pronunciation of local names or gathering to enjoy a plate of saltfish and bake, we hold on to our identity, no matter where we are. I look forward to welcoming you to the beauty of my homeland, where every moment is a chance to celebrate our rich culture and heartfelt hospitality!
